OPERATING ALARM SYSTEMS
The manifold control cabinet contains the required circuitry to send a dry contact signal to the alarm unit when
a bank is empty and change-over occurs. The normally closed internal circuitry is designed to alarm when there
is an open circuit. The depletion of a bank triggers a relay, which renders the alarm circuit open and initiates the
alarm signal.
GAS SERVICE IDENTIFICATION
Amico manifolds are clearly labeled for the intended gas use, indicating the appropriate gas with a label that is attached
on the cabinet door. There are two pipes extending from the top of the cabinet, one is for the main line pressure and the
other is the vent for the pressure relief valves, which is also labeled accordingly.
HEADER BAR CONNECTIONS
The gas-specific header bar should be attached to the inlet block on either side of the manifold. The inlet block is provided
with a sintered bronze filter and a “C” clip to secure it. The header should contain the proper gas connections and all
cylinder bar connections; as well the pigtail (hose) assemblies should comply with CGA standard B96, Compressed
Gas Cylinder Valve outlet and inlet connections.
